Obama is an incredibly strong campaigner. I think a lot of the stronger candidates on the Republican side, especially Christie and Daniels, sensed that and decided to bow out. They thought that it would be better if there wasn't an incumbent Democratic President to run against. Obama is also well-liked, his favorables are almost always higher than his approvals, so it might've been tough to be able to compete against that.
It was only the people who either didn't sense how good of a campaigner or how good the ground game of Obama that ran, or the people who felt it was their turn (I am almost sure Romney knew the implications of running against Obama).
